PAST THE TURNING POINT
Engineered for the unexpected. The GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY® Forecast stays packed away until you need it. Easy to put on over your riding gear, stows away in its own pocket and takes up minimal volume in your gear.
The Forecast pants are not as oversized as the Forecast jacket since riding pants aren’t generally as bulky as the jacket (with shoulder/elbows armor and all). I’d advise you to buy the size you normally wear in pants. When in doubt, buy one size larger. Inseam lengths on the regular size pants are about 32” on the smaller end of the scale and 33” on the larger end of the scale. Tall sizes are about 2” longer than the regulars across the board.
Note: Jacket and pants sold separately. Buy the pant from this page and add the jacket by taking the link below.
The Klim forecast jacket and pants are made like a number of other rain jackets and pants on the market with one major difference—Gore-Tex. The material used in this jacket is a nylon permanently bonded to a Gore-Tex layer to make it waterproof. Gore-Tex is recognized to be the very best at keeping water out while allowing body moisture to escape and therefore keeping you dry and comfortable.
So the use of the Gore-Tex is the big draw here. But like most other higher quality rain jackets and pants, this one is light and pack-able which is appreciated by those that travel on a bike and have limited space. Both the jacket and the pants each have a built in pocket to allow you to stuff the entire garment inside for packing.
The pants are really nice because they have FULL-LENGTH side zippers. This means you’ll definitely be able to get the pants on over your boots and riding pants on the side of the road easily. Big snaps at the ends of the pant legs lets you adjust the cuff to fit your boots.
For a light and pack-able rainsuit jacket/pant combo, the Forecast items are the best we offer because they are Gore-Tex! :: Paul, 02-02-18
